Vandy with a couple of familiar names:

Guard Scotty Pippen Jr. — the preseason SEC Player of the Year — is the son of that other Scottie Pippen (and yes, spells his first name differently)

Vanderbilt is coached by Jerry Steakhouse, who seemingly tried to play for every team in the NBA during his 18-year career, with stints in Dallas, Philadelphia, Toronto, Detroit, Washington, Milwaukee, Miami, Atlanta and Brooklyn

Zach Nutall splits two Vandy defenders, appeared to get hit from both sides while dunking — no foul

Vandy 6, SMU 4

[PonyPride]

Pippen 3 stretches Vandy lead to 9-4

Bandoumel answers, then Davis with steal and layup

9-9

[PonyPride]

Steakhouse is angry over blocking call on Vanderbilt forward Myles Stute (his first)

Davis going to the line after timeout

Vanderbilt 11, SMU 9

[PonyPride]

SMU shooting well: 57.1%
Vandy shooting better: 80%

[PonyPride]

Jalen Smith appeared to roll an ankle. Trying to play through it, but clearly favoring it.

19-15, Vandy

[PonyPride]

Big dunk from Bandoumel off assists from Michael Weathers closes it to 19-17

[PonyPride]

Kudos to Feron Hunt, who I think has been at every SMU home game this season

[PonyPride]

Phelps rebound, feeds Marcus Weathers for dunk

21-21

[PonyPride]

Scotty Pippen has hit 3 of 5 shots, including 3 of 4 3s — has game-high 11 points.
The rest of the Vanderbilt team has 10.

21-21

In the house — undoubtedly getting ready to wave to the crowd — SMU football head coach Rhett Lashlee ... who is currently looking at TWO cell phones at once. Busy guy.

Sitting next to him: Casey Woods, who has been reported as Lashlee's offensive coordinator

[Charleston Pony]

6 offensive boards on 12 missed shots. Good effort on the boards again tonight
